🧠 A Quick Note on Sugar & Rum
Yes, it’s made with rum. No, there’s no sugar in it—because
rum never had any to begin with.
Although rum is made
from sugarcane, it’s a
distilled spirit—and distillation removes all sugars during the alcohol-making process. The same goes for
vodka (grain or potatoes), tequila (agave), whiskey (grain), and gin.
Unless a spirit is
flavored or labeled a liqueur, it will
contain zero sugar and zero carbs. That includes all white rum like Planteray 3 Stars, which is clean, crisp, and perfect for low-sugar cocktails like this.
Bottom line: Rum is not high in sugar. It’s made from sugar—just like every spirit is made from a sugar source—but by the time it reaches your glass, the sugar is long gone.
